I Thought Haiti Was Ugly

Two hundred years of your Independence,
Yet I still wonder if this is your sentence.
Many believe that your strength is immense,
But I've yet to see them come to your defense.
You've been facing struggles since you began.
So, giving up on you should never be a plan.
Instead, the world should lend a helping hand.
Maybe then you would become a prosperous land.

From many miles away I can feel the distress,
Of a country where freedom is being suppressed.
Since of your demise, I am not yet convinced.
When I pray at night I pray that you be blessed.

Though you are said to be one of the poorest.
Those who have seen you have seen a treasure chest.
I know that right now you are put to the test,
But the day will come when you will finally rest.

Haitian people it is time that you wake up
and smell the aroma of the Haitian coffee
Your land is awaiting your hands
You should always be proud of who you are!

@Clark30Super I was in Haiti in April 2011 for 2 weeks. Port au Prince was hit hard. Farther north not so much. Up by Gonaives is more prone to flooding. In 2008 there was much damage from flooding. Our team put a roof on a canteen for a school in Mapou Chevalier. A life changing experience for sure. I plan on returning in the next 5 years. It is a great country with great people that do the best they can with what they have.

You guys have to Remember that this Island before it was Divided Was called the Española the most beautiful island as christopher columbus said. Haiti is beutiful but i was much more precious during the early times, haiti looks the way it looks now mainly because of the French exploiting the land with their Sugar cane mills. Haiti use to have very fertile lands and still does. Im Dominican but i acknowledge Haitian as hard working people.
